Isaac Fayose has broken his silence following the backlash that greeted his recent visit to Seyi Tinubu, saying he has every right to change his political stance if he chooses.
The businessman came under fire after a video of him with President Bola Tinubu’s son surfaced online, with many of his followers accusing him of abandoning the Obidient movement and throwing his weight behind President Tinubu ahead of the 2027 election.
Reacting to the criticism, Fayose said those questioning his actions had forgotten the sacrifices he made while supporting Peter Obi during the 2023 presidential election. He also expressed disappointment that, despite his commitment to Obi’s campaign, he was never acknowledged.
He said:
“I can withdraw my support for Peter Obi. Do you people know how much I spent on Peter Obi’s 2023 campaign? I met Seyi Tinubu and people started complaining. Has Peter Obi ever appreciated me? If I want, I can start campaigning for President Tinubu. I’m a Yoruba man, and I love President Tinubu and his son.”
Fayose maintained that meeting Seyi Tinubu should not be seen as a crime, adding that he is free to support any candidate he believes in.
